Section 2 (Reading OGE 2018)

Section 2(Reading Assignments) contains 9 Reading Comprehension Assignments. The recommended time to complete tasks in this section is 30 minutes.

Methodical hint

• Read the headings, translate them, try to find what unites them (topic, problem, situation, keyword, etc.) and how they differ from each other (different aspects of the topic, problem, attitude to the problem, etc.) ...
• Highlight keywords while reading headings.
• Try to predict what will be discussed in the text, its main content, pick up words / phrases that are necessary for the disclosure of this topic.
• Carefully read each of the proposed texts, not paying attention to unfamiliar words and expressions, i.e. without going into detailed understanding.
• Try to formulate the main idea of ​​the text yourself, then choose the answer that is closest in content to the proposed options and mark it. If it is difficult to immediately determine which heading fits the text, you can skip this moment and read the next passage, then return to that place.
• Check whether the choice of this or that correspondence is justified, whether other matches are correctly established.
• Make sure the superfluous title is selected correctly.
• If the text seems confusing, put it aside. Match headings to other texts and act by elimination, having 2 texts the chance of even guessing the correct answer is much higher.
• Make sure not to use the same letter twice.
• Write your final answer in the table after the assignment.
• When reading the text, determine the main idea for yourself, separate the main from the secondary, ignore unnecessary information and unfamiliar words that do not interfere with the understanding of the main content.

Assignment 9

Read the texts and establish the correspondence between the texts and their headings: for each text marked with the letters A – G, select the corresponding heading, indicated by numbers 1–8. Use each number only once. There is one extra heading in the assignment.

Assignment 9

Read the texts and establish the correspondence between the texts and their headings: for each text indicated by the letters A – G, select the corresponding heading indicated by numbers. Use every number only once... The assignment contains one extra heading.

1. The birthplace of the city
2. Multifunctional construction
3. The first traffic jams
4. A perfect location
5. Safety gates
6. Defeating pollution
7. Navigation season
8. The royal birds

A. Almost 2,000 years ago, the army of Ancient Rome landed on the coast of Britain and headed north. Soon they came to a wide, deep river. The army could neither walk across it nor find an alternative route. The only solution was building a bridge. The Romans found a place where the river was relatively narrow and built a bridge. Then they founded a settlement, which they called Londinium. Today it is known as London.

B. The Romans soon discovered that Londinium was an ideal site for a port. Their bridge prevented large ships from going up the river, so all trading ships had to stop and unload at Londinium... It made Londinium an important trading center and stimulated the growth and development of the city.

C. The first London bridge over the Thames was built of wood - and then rebuilt time and time again. Later, a stone bridge was constructed. By the 1350s there were nearly 200 houses and shops on top of the bridge, and the road across it was very narrow. It was very difficult for carriages, horses and people to move across the bridge... They often couldn’t pass one another and had to spend hours on the bridge.

D. When the Thames flooded, it covered London with water. After a bad flood in 1953, people began to look for a way to control the river. In 1982 the Thames Barrier was opened. When its gates are raised, they form a steel wall more than half a kilometer long across the Thames. It prevents flood water from reaching London. More than 90 times, the Thames Barrier has saved the capital from flooding.

E. Nowadays, Tower Bridge is one of the most famous bridges in the world. The walkway between the two bridge towers provides a perfect sightseeing platform to enjoy a magnificent view over London. Inside the towers there is an exhibition, which tells the history of the bridge via photos, films, and other media. Tower Bridge also performs its original function of providing a road across the River Thames.

F. In Britain, swans have privileged status. Since the 1100s, all unmarked swans on any public lakes or rivers in the country have belonged to the Crown. The swans on the River Thames are called Mute swans... They have a bright orange beak with a black spot on the top. Every July, a special ceremony called “Swan Upping” takes place on the Thames at Windsor. All the swans are caught and their markings are checked and recorded.

G. Nowadays, the River Thames is the cleanest river in the world that flows through a big city. This is a great achievement because only fifty years ago the river was so dirty and poisoned that it was declared biologically dead. Special plants to clean the water were built in the 1950s. Soon, special laws were issued to stop factories letting their dirty water go into the river. Strict government measures have saved the river.

Write down the selected numbers in the table under the corresponding letters.

Quests 10 - 17

Read the text. Determine which of the following statements 10 –17 correspond to the content of the text (1 –True) which do not match (2 –False) and what the text does not say, that is, on the basis of the text, neither a positive nor a negative answer can be given (3 –Not stated)... In the answer field, write down one number that corresponds to the number of the correct answer.

Sports in Great Britain

It is interesting how many of today’s sports games originated in Britain - football, rugby, tennis, boxing, rowing and horse racing among them. Of course, horse racing was popular with the Greeks and Arabs long before the British began to put them into practice; and people had been playing football in one form or another for thousands of years all over the world... But it was the British who created special rules for these sports and sports games.

Football is a good example. In the Middle Ages people in Europe, Japan and Asia all played some forms of the game. A sort of football was also very popular in England, especially as a contest between villages. But at that time there were very few rules. When the students of English schools started to play football, rules then became necessary. They were changed several times and by the middle of the 19 th century football had become very much the game that we know and like today. By the way, the first serious football rules were written at Cambridge University.

A similar story can be told about some other sports. Why did this happen in Britain before other countries? There are some possible explanations: after the Norman invasion of 1066, Britain was quite a peaceful country. As a result people had time to develop sports. Later, after Britain's industrial revolution, English factories were based on highly organized work and strict time keeping. The same discipline was applied to sport. So uniforms, referees and punishments were introduced to football and other games. British authorities thought that team games were good training for future military and industrial careers.

Every country has its own list of favorite sports. What is the British list? There are lots of games apart from football. Schoolgirls, for example, play a game which seems a lot like basketball. It is called netball. Netball is different from basketball in many details: for example, the ball is lighter, the court is bigger and netball has seven players in each team (not five). There is something very strange about netball - it is never played by boys. There is no biological reason for this, it is simply a tradition. It is popular throughout the English-speaking world, and the Australians and New Zealanders usually win the competitions.

But the most famous and popular British sport is cricket. Cricket is an important part of English summer life. You can watch it all day on TV or even listen to it on the radio. News programs keep you up-to-date with the score... Men, when they meet, always exchange a few words about the state of the game.

One of cricket's distinguishing features is that the games are very long... In an ordinary game at a boys' school it takes up to a whole afternoon. But the big international games are up to five days long.

Answers to Task 9: 1435286

Answers to Quests 10 - 17

In 2016, the oral part of the OGE (GIA) in English will include three tasks:

Exercise 1- reading aloud a short text of a popular science character. Preparation time is 1.5 minutes.
Assignment 2- conditional dialogue-inquiry. You need to answer the six questions you heard in the audio recording.
Assignment 3- a monologue statement on a specific topic based on a plan. The plan is the questions in the assignment. Preparation time is 1.5 minutes.

The total response time of one OGE participant, including the preparation time, is 15 minutes. Unlike the GIA format of previous years, when students communicated directly with the teacher-examiner, starting in 2016, students have been performing this part on a computer as well. Tasks appear on the screen as the previous one is completed. So, first you will be shown the text from task 1, the preparation time will be counted, after which the recording will immediately turn on. When your answer is complete, the next task begins (automatically).

I will stay on assignments in more detail.

Task number 1 - reading aloud a small text

You will have 1.5 minutes to prepare and you should have time to read the text in 2 minutes. The maximum number of points for this task is only 2, and you will receive them if your speech is easily perceived by experts, there will be no unreasonable pauses, and you make no more than 5 phonetic errors, two of which may even distort the meaning of the text.

To practice this skill, the advice is simple - long live good old reading aloud!

Task number 2 - conditional dialogue-inquiry

This task presents 6 questions logically related to a common theme in the form of a public opinion poll.

For example, the 2016 demo contains the following questions about sports:

How old are you?

How many times a week do you do sports?

What sport is the most popular with teenagers in your region?

What sports facilities are available in the place where you live?

Why do you think it is importanat to keep fit?

What would you advise a person who wants to keep fit?

Interestingly, here each question is worth 1 point. And you will not receive it if the answer to the question is not given at all, if the answer does not correspond to the question, if the answer is given in the form of a word or phrase (attention of lovers of monosyllabic answers!), If the answer contains errors that impede its understanding.

So, 6 questions for which you can get the maximum 6 points. The time limit for each answer is 60 seconds.

Task number 3 - monologue based on the text of the task

Here you have only 1.5 minutes to prepare, and your monologue should last at least 2 minutes.

In general, it was this task of the speaking / speaking section of the GIA in English that underwent the smallest changes in 2016.

You still need to communicate coherently on all three criteria presented in the assignment.

Here's what, for example, we are asked to talk about in the demo version of the assignment:

Remeber to say:

why people like taking pictures

why taking photos is more popular today than it was in the past

what the best photo you have ever taken is

This subsection of the oral part is assessed according to three criteria: the solution of a communicative task (here it is extremely important to talk in detail about all three aspects mentioned in the assignment and not ignore the questions why? / Why?), The organization of the statement (the statement should be logically built and combined into a single whole with the help of ligaments, introductory and final phrases must be present) and language design (it is required to demonstrate a varied vocabulary and various grammatical structures corresponding to the A2 language level (pre-intermediate) for GIA.

As before, at zero for solving a communicative task, 0 points out of 7 are awarded for this task of the oral part. And it is not at all difficult to earn this zero, it is enough, for example, to ignore two keys in the support task, that is, to answer only one question out of the three proposed.

It is interesting that in the new format (the format of the oral part of the 2015-2016 academic year), those taking the exam will talk with a computer and, naturally, audio and video recording of this part of the exam will be kept for subsequent evaluation by experts.

However, it takes practice, experience and confidence to successfully pass the GIA's oral English exam!

Specification
control measuring materials for carrying out
in 20186 main state exam
in FOREIGN LANGUAGES

1. Purpose of CMM for OGE- to assess the level of language training in a foreign language of 9th grade graduates of general education institutions for the purpose of their final state certification. The exam results can be used when admitting students to specialized secondary school classes.

The OGE is carried out in accordance with the Federal Law of December 29, 2012 No. 273-FZ "On Education in the Russian Federation".

2. Documents defining the content of CMM

1. Federal component of the state standard of basic general education in foreign languages ​​(order of the Ministry of Education of Russia dated 05.03.2004 No. 1089 "On the approval of the Federal component of state standards of primary general, basic general and secondary (complete) general education").
2. Model programs in foreign languages ​​// New state standards in foreign languages ​​for grades 2-11 (Education in documents and comments. M .: AST: Astrel, 2004). When developing CMMs, the following are also taken into account:
   Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: Learning, Teaching, Assessment. MSLU, 2003.
3. Approaches to the selection of content, the development of the structure of CMM

The main goal of foreign language education in basic school is the formation of students' communicative competence, understood as the ability and willingness of students to communicate in a foreign language within the limits determined by the standard of basic general education in foreign languages. This goal implies the formation and development of students' communicative skills in speaking, reading, listening comprehension / listening and writing in a foreign language.

To determine the level of formation of the communicative competence of graduates of basic school in the exam work of the OGE, two parts are provided (written and oral) and various types of tasks are used to test communication skills and language skills.

The fulfillment of the set of the tasks presented by the students makes it possible to assess the correspondence of the level of their foreign language training, achieved by the end of education in the basic school, to the level that is determined by the standard of basic general education in foreign languages. This level guarantees the possibility of successful continuation of education in secondary school.

4. Connection of the exam model of the OGE with the KIM of the exam

Examination work for the OGE and KIM USE in foreign languages ​​have common objects of control (communication skills of graduates in listening, reading, writing and speaking, lexical and grammatical skills) and some common elements of content.

To test the communication skills and language skills of students in the examination papers of graduates of the 9th and 11th grades, the same types of assignments are used (for example, assignments with a short answer, assignments with a detailed answer, assignments to choose and record the number of one answer out of three proposed), and uniform approaches to assessing productive and receptive types of speech activity.

At the same time, the OGE and the Unified State Exam differ in the objectives of the conduct, and the KIM OGE and the Unified State Exam differ in some verifiable elements of content, the number and level of difficulty of tasks, the duration of the exam, which is due to the different content and conditions of teaching foreign languages ​​in basic and secondary schools.

5. Characteristics of the structure and content of CMM

The examination paper consists of two parts:

• writing (sections 1-4, including tasks for listening, reading, writing, as well as tasks for controlling the lexical and grammatical skills of graduates);
• oral (section 5, containing speaking tasks).

KIM in foreign languages ​​includes tasks of different forms:

• 14 tasks with the answer written in the form of one number: 6 tasks to test the auditing skills of graduates (section 1 "Listening tasks") and 8 tasks to test the reading skills of graduates (section 2 "Reading tasks");
• 18 tasks with a short answer: 2 tasks to test auditory skills, 1 task to test reading skills and 15 tasks to test the lexical and grammatical skills of 9th grade graduates. The answer to tasks with a short answer is given by an appropriate entry in the form of a number or a sequence of numbers written without spaces and separating symbols or a word / phrase written without spaces and separators).
• 3 tasks with a detailed answer: writing a personal letter in section 4 "Writing assignment"; thematic monologue and combined dialogue (section 5 "Speaking tasks").

Maximum score for correct completion of all tasks in Section 2 (Reading) - 15 points

Basic reading strategies to help you allocate time to complete assignments during the exam.

- when reading texts, try to catch the main idea of ​​the text

- highlight (underline) keywords

- do not panic if unfamiliar words are encountered; learn to ignore vocabulary that is new to you, focusing on the main content of the presented text

- when reading, pay attention to the organization of the text: the first and last sentences of a paragraph, because most often it is on them that you will be able to find the heading corresponding to the text

- after reading the paragraph, try to formulate its main content in one sentence or phrase

In tasks of this type, you need to connect headings (or questions / or statements to the text) with the text.

Number of texts - 7

Number of titles – 8

• Start this activity by reading the headings and guessing what the text might be about.
• When you are sure that you fully understand the headings, move on to reading the texts. During the first reading no need to immediately select headings for texts, since the information in the texts may differ slightly and there is a high probability of making a mistake.
• On your second reading, begin to relate the text passages to the headings (or statements, or questions).
• If the headings are close in meaning, you need to choose the most appropriate one, i.e. most accurately reflects the content of the passage read.
• After you have finished completing the assignment, make sure that the heading you did not use does not fit any of the texts.

In this assignment, you need to determine if the given sentence is consistent with the information you read in the text.

1) First, read the text completely and try to understand its content as accurately as possible. Determine if the sequence of events in the text corresponds to the statements given.

2) Then find the place in the text that corresponds to each statement. Please note that this will not be a complete coincidence, but a transfer of information in other words. For this, it is very useful to know the synonymous series of words. For example, to like doing smth = to enjoy doing smth = to be interested in smth = to be keen on smth = to be fond of smth

3) It is very important to learn to distinguish the absence of information in the text ( Not stated ) from its inconsistency ( False ).

- you choose the answer True , if the text contains this information, but at the same time different vocabulary used

- you choose False , if the text says so, but the statement has opposite the content of the text meaning

- you choose Not Stated , if in the text about it it is not clearly stated although the statement does not contradict the general content of the text

5) You need to learn to feel the difference between the facts that you read in the text and your own conclusions (conclusions) that you made based on the content of the exam text.

In conclusion, I want to say that, despite the advice “ignore unfamiliar vocabulary,” I still think that it is necessary to learn new words while preparing for the exam, especially if the word occurs often and is the key to understanding the content of the text. Good vocabulary will help you succeed in more than just reading assignments. You can also write a letter perfectly (read the article) and easily cope with .

Section 2 (Reading Assignments)

Task 9

Read the texts and establish the correspondence between the texts and theirheadings: for each text marked with letters A – G, selectthe corresponding heading numbered 1-8. Useevery digit only once... The assignment contains one extra heading .

1. The scientific explanation
2. The real shape
3. A lucky sign
4. Some tips
5. Places without rainbows
6. A personal vision
7. A bridge between worlds
8. Impossible to catch

A.Two people never see the same rainbow... Each person sees a different one. It happens because the raindrops are constantly moving so the rainbow is always changing too. Each time you see a rainbow it is unique and it will never be the same! In addition, everyone sees colors differently according to the light and how their eyes interpret it.

B. A rainbow is an optical phenomenon that is seen in the atmosphere... It appears in the sky when the sun's light is reflected by the raindrops. A rainbow always appears during or immediately after showers when the sun is shining and the air contains raindrops. As a result, a spectrum of colors is seen in the sky. It takes the shape of a multicolored arc.

C. Many cultures see the rainbow as a road, a connection between earth and heaven (the place where God lives). Legends say that it goes below the earth at the horizon and then comes back up again. In this way it makes a permanent link between what is above and below, between life and death. In some myths the rainbow is compared to a staircase connecting earth to heaven.

D. We all believe that the rainbow is arch-shaped. The funny thing is that it "sactually a circle. The reason we don’t see the other half of the rainbow is because we cannot see below the horizon. However, the higher we are above the ground, the more of the rainbow’s circle we can see. That is why, from an airplane in flight, a rainbow will appear as a complete circle with the shadow of the airplane in the center.

E. In many cultures there is a belief that seeing a rainbow is good. Legends say that if you dig at the end of a rainbow, you "ll find a pot of gold. Rainbows are also seen after a storm, showing that the weather is getting better, and there is hope after the storm. This is why they are associated with rescue and good fortune. If people happen to get married on such a day, it is said that they will enjoy a very happy life together.

F.You can never reach the end of a rainbow... A rainbow is all light and water. It is always in front of you while your back is to the sun. As you move, the rainbow that your eye sees moves as well and it will always ‘move away’ at the same speed that you are moving. No matter how hard you try , a rainbow will always be as far away from you as it was before you started to move towards it.

G. To see a rainbow you have to remember some points. First, you should be standing with the sun behind you. Secondly, the rain should be in front of you. The most impressive rainbows appear when half of the sky is still dark with clouds and the other half is clear. The best time to see a rainbow is on a warm day in the early morning after sunrise or late afternoon before sunset. Rainbows are often seen near waterfalls and fountains.

Write down the selected numbers in the table under the corresponding letters.

The Best Job in the World

Have you ever heard of the Great Barrier Reef? It is the world "s largest coral reef system along the eastern coast of Australia. In February 2009 an extraordinary position was advertised by the Australian Tourism Office. The advertisement ran that the Great Barrier Reef needed a caretaker for half a year... It was for a special person who would look after the Reef.

The job offered a large salary, free accommodation in a luxury villa, and transportation there and around the islands. All expenses would be paid: the winner wouldn "t need to spend any extra money on anything.

The job "s duties were pretty simple. You could only dream of such requirements. First, the person had to speak English and swim well... Second, on the island his responsibility included writing a weekly Internet blog. That "s right, weekly, not even daily! The job description also required the successful applicant to explore the islands of the Great Barrier Reef, swim, make friends with the locals and generally enjoy the tropical climate and lifestyle. A real dream!

Within the first 2 days of the contest, the tourism office received more than seven thousand online applications. All told , 34,000 people of all different nationalities applied. Each made and presented a 60-second video résumé. They had to be creative and they were. In the end 16 people were chosen, who flew to Australia for the final selection. The candidates were interviewed and the winner was Ben Southall from the UK.

Ben greatly enjoyed the dream job he had got. He realized that people knew very little about planet earth and its treasures. Living in big cities, they forgot how important the flora and fauna of this world were. Every time Ben went outdoors, he could discover something new. “Every time I dived or went underwater, I forgot about all the troubles above water and concentrated on living in the moment. It was a good way to clean the mind and build respect for the natural world, ”Ben said.

Ben "s life on the island was not just fun. It was very busy, busier than most people imagined, and certainly busier than Ben himself had imagined. He worked seven days a week and up to 19 hours a day. The Best Job included traveling to over 60 islands of the Reef almost every day. It was not just looking after the Reef , Ben had a lot of meetings, press conferences and interviews. He was getting a lot of attention all the time and he couldn "t get away from it. That was probably the hardest part of the job.

Moreover, any adventure has a certain degree of risk. Swimming and diving on the Great Barrier Reef was not different. Ben had to deal with whales, sharks and other huge sea creatures. Surprisingly, the most dangerous thing was a small jellyfish about the size of a little finger. It "s considered to be extremely poisonous and Ben was stung by it... He had to spend a couple of days in hospital but luckily recovered after a course of antibiotics.

Ben often says that the project has taught him a few valuable lessons. Working with the Internet is one of those jobs you can do 24 hours a day. Ben realized it was hard to separate life and work, but this he had to do. He also said: "I" ve learned that we get one life on earth so we have to use it. There "ll always be other countries to visit, other people to meet and other adventures to meet. This is what I wish to do. I "m planning to go to Asia in a few years time".
